Ava Gardner, c.1944

"Ava Gardner, from my personal observation, is one of Hollywood’s most provocative stars. As a female, I’d like to be able to learn some of the things Ava knows, instinctively. I’ve watched her at “work.” And her technique seems to be a simple “let them do the chasing.” She’s warm, yet aloof. She invites at the same time she withdraws. She has a maddening, teasing quality that seems to promise much, yet is as elusive as quicksilver at being pinned down. Maybe that’s the secret: Looking as desirable as Ava looks, and being as hard to get."

-Sheilah Graham, Photoplay magazine, July 1949

I loved this book growing up, it had my favorite illustrations! I just found out the artist's name was Sheilah Beckett. I'm pretty sure we had other books with her illustrations in them as well.
